Ethyl would have hated her.... I just know it..... and she would have beat that dogs ass

This cracks me up! I'm supposed to be asleep since I have workers showing up at 0900. But I'm all "just one more post!"

Back up girl gang car

Absolutely!

 

[Lilianna23]

Beautiful!

I grew up in an era/location where women were rarely heard using bad language. I now hear it all the time which is great as it means that I can now join in their conversations.

You're welcome to join me any time. I can even swear in Italian!

Thought for the day, from the late George Best, the finest footballer I ever saw (I'm talking proper football not the throwy, catchy kind )

"I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered"

"Throwy, catchy?????????"

You wouldn't be impugning American football, now, would you, NC?

Yesterday, I was splitting firewood. There’s something very relaxing about the productive nature work like this. I try to find beauty in everything around me, esp in nature. Sometimes I’m amazed at the wood grains I see. Here are a few examples.

This was from a maple tree we had taken down that was dying. I’ve never seen maple with so much beautiful wood grain. It looks more like black, walnut, but black walnut is usually much more solid brown color. Who knows??

This would make a gorgeous live-edge something! Table, mantle, countertop...

Wasn’t he the original drummer in the Beatles?

Much like my dog!

Well it’s been cold and stormy but the rewards are views like this at sunrise and sunset…it’s worth the discomfort.

Stunning photos, G!

My kind of workout! Right after driving 12 miles!

 

[Lilianna23]

I hate it gets dark at 530..... sucks

It's starting to get dark here about 4:30.

 

[Lilianna23]

Good evening. I had a wonderful time and dinner with friends. I had bacon Brussels sprouts with balsamic on top, pistachio crusted chicken breast, over butter nut squash gratin. I am stuffed!

That all sounds wonderful!

 

[Lilianna23]

It was delicious. Have more for the next couple of days.

Does anyone get out of sorts at the holidays... I don't really enjoy them. I force myself to do "fun" stuff but it is exhausting..... I guess since we didn't really celebrate as kids.... we were poor.... I just don't get all the pomp and circumstance

I usually love them and go a wee bit overboard with my decorations. This year is different... I might get the tree up.

Cat entered the bedroom to vomit...joy

Sharing is caring

 

[Lilianna23]

I cut my thumb.... dang it

[Missk_2022]

So what's the general consensus here on protein. Im a low carb guy. Love them avacotos....

I love avocados, too! Tonight I made an asparagus risotto with shrimp for dinner. I now have enough for two more days...

It's starting to get dark here about 4:30.

That is even suckier

 

[Missk_2022]

Are we talking butterfly and coban or stitches?

Band aid. Right on the tip of my thumb so it is ouch-y.....bled for a while

 

[Lilianna23]

I started Saturday off with a double pork roll and egg sandwich on a plain bagel, 2 cups of coffee, and a glass of orange juice.... I'm a junk food junkie!

So THAT'S why you're out running every day!!

 

[Lilianna23]

This year yes.

I actually love thanksgiving. It’s my favorite holiday, but now that my mom is so old and frail, i don’t know how it’s gonna work.

Christmas is normally my jam. We didn’t have much of Christmas either when I was a kids

But I probably overcompensate for it by getting extra into it. We have crazy traditions: the Christmas Mastadon, the Godzilla tree topper, punk rock ornaments, the Christmas morning Torino ride w Santa hats, dancing around the juke box, pumpkin smooshing, our special Christmas cookie family recipe and luminaries in the driveway.

But I ain’t feeling it this year. We’ve had a significant change in family dynamics the last two years which has really changed a lot.

Your Christmas sounds like lots of fun!
